question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the report by ukactive that the Chief Medical Officer’s guidance is not being followed in schools, how they plan to ensure that children get the recommended 60 minutes of daily exercise.

uin	HL682
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2015 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of encouraging children to become more active. Through the Primary Physical Education (PE) and Sport Premium, head teachers have already received over £300 million of ring-fenced funding to spend on improving PE and sport provision. Our research has found that schools have already increased the amount of curricular PE they are delivering by an average of 13 minutes since the introduction of the Premium. In addition, 83% of schools reported an increase in the levels of participation in extra-curricular activities and 96% observed improvements in pupils’ physical fitness. The interim research brief, 'PE and sport premium: an investigation in primary schools', was published in September 2014, and the final report will be published in the autumn.</p><p> </p><p>The Department of Health also funds Change4Life Sports Clubs in schools which target less active children. An independent evaluation reported that in 2012-13 alone, clubs had engaged over 115,000 children. In primary schools, 75,000 children are now achieving 60 active minutes on most days of the week, an increase of 57%, and 38,000 children are now achieving 60 active minutes every day, an increase of 92%.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 01/07/2015 16:03:28 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what consultation they conducted before deciding to discontinue funding the College of Social Work; and with whom.
tabling member printed	Lord Beecham
uin	HL685
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2015 answer text <p>Government was approached by the College of Social Work (the College) in March to discuss their financial situation for 2015-16 and beyond. As a result the College initiated an internal review of its functions and business model. The report demonstrated that even with the proposed level of Government funding, the College would be running at a loss. The financial health of an organisation is a key factor in the decision to award grant funding. The Department would not continue to provide grant funding to any organisation that is deemed to be financially unsustainable under HM Treasury rules (Managing Public Money). Therefore, funding is being provided in 2015-16 to ensure an orderly transfer of its Government funded work to other bodies.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 02/07/2015 15:50:49 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton

We keep our travel advice under constant review.</p><p>We do not consider that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) poses a terrorist threat, nor are we aware of any recent incidents of the DPRK abducting or physically harming North Korean refugees. It is unlikely the DPRK would issue visas to any North Korean refugees considering visiting the DPRK, but anyone who has previously held North Korean nationality should take into account that the DPRK may still regard them as North Korean nationals.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 06/07/2015 11:43:01 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
